Children's entertainment in New Zealand

“A great natural environment, Adobe playground, creative and aesthaetically pleasing, encouraging heuristic and adventure-based play! Come play and learn!”

“Fantastic child care center. Our young child attendeds and has really thrived since starting”

“Most amazing Early Learning Centre!! My kids are enjoying every second of their time there!! Definitely the TOP Early Learning Centre to consider when choosing one for your tamariki. Without any doubt this centre has the BEST teachers!!”

“Great staff and center, my girls love going each week. The staff encourage them to thrive have fun and feel safe, Highly recommend this Best Start.”

“I have been with this ECE for 4 years and I highly recommend. My child started as a 1 year old and has just graduated. They are excellent in all areas including communication which is so important to me and our whānau. If you are looking for more than a "daycare" then this is for you. With highly skilled and kind staff, your child is in the best hands.”

“I can't speak highly enough of this daycare. I enrolled my little girl at 9 months and we were made to feel so welcome. The staff are incredible and I know my baby feels genuinely loved and cared for there. She gets excited when she arrives every morning and the Tahi room team are always there if I have any questions. We're unfortunately moving and the hardest part of making this move has been having to move my baby from Busy Bees. Having toured quite a lot of other daycares, we're well aware that not many are this attentive and caring about the kids. We feel so, so lucky to have found this daycare and will be recommending it to everyone. Thanks team xx”

“We have been part of the Kids Campus whānau since 2020, when our son started childcare at 6 months old. From our very first visit we have had nothing but a positive experience. Kids Campus has a small intimate space for babies, and a beautiful over twos space with a large outdoor area. With low ratios, long serving staff and little staff turnover, building and maintaining meaningful relationships is Kids Campus’s superpower! The centre offers care that is an extension of home building on whānau aspirations and extending on what each child brings to the centre. The environment is always set beautifully to offer a range of activities, extending on planning displayed and the current interests of the children. We cannot recommend Kids Campus highly enough!

“Our child has been at Cotswold Kidsfirst for just over a year and it's been so great for his development. The teaching staff are experienced professionals who know how to bring the best out of your child. Every day he looks forward to going to kindy. I would recommend kindy to any family considering it, it's such an amazing environment for tamariki.”

“Our two children went here, and although we knew they would be there for only few weeks due to my partner’s work - the relationship they’ve built with teachers and the way they felt so comfortable to be themselves in such a short period is AMAZING. All teachers are absolutely amazing, very warm yet professional. It does confirm that quality beats quantity. Thank you, dear teachers and dear tamariki, for sharing this moment in time with us! ❤️ Thanks to those personalised books we’ll remind kids about this incredible time of their lives, and I’ll for sure never forget how kind and helpful you all were to all of us!”

“The team is absolutely top notch. Favilities are great and our child loves all the outdoor activities and space provided. Keep up the great work!”

“I have 2 children attending Educare Tamahere, it has become an extension of our whanau. The staff are very caring and I feel my children’s safety and support is their top priority. I often recommend the centre.”

“I was just feeling Nostalgic and remembered all the great memories I had at this kindy, I dont know how much has changed now but when I was there 9-12 years ago it was the perfect kindy to make friends and memories at, thank you for starting my life off with a nice start”

“The team at ArtMakers run a fantastic holiday programme that provides children with a creative outlet in an encouraging and inclusive environment. Our two children love having the opportunity to make a variety of art and crafts. A highlight is the drama block where they have the opportunity to showcase backdrops and costumes they have produced in a mini show. We have become regulars and would highly recommend this programme for other families.”

“The staff are amazing settling in my toddler. You can tell they are actually passionate about their job and care.”

“Both my girls go to charles kindy, they have an amazing space to play inside and outside. All the teachers are great, they are so patient and caring with the kids, always making sure they have a hat on when outside.”

“good small local market on a Saturday morning, makes a nice change when it's not the normal car boot type, this market has real nice things for sale”

“We’re really happy with Busy Bees Papamoa! The teachers are so lovely and caring, and my daughter enjoys going every day. It’s such a warm and welcoming place, and we feel lucky to have found it.”

“Love the staff and facilities. The staff are amazingly caring during drop off when my youngest sometimes gets upset. Lots of cuddles. The staff treat my children as if they are their own.”

“I don't have children here but have been a close neighbour since 1999. It has always been busy, with frequent improvements and the people attending have been friendly. I've posted a more recent photo to show how the mural has brightened up the place.”

“The first moment we walked in to Beststart Prestons we felt very welcomed. The teachers and staff are so genuinely caring and really take the time to get to know the children. There are plenty of engaging projects that the children love getting involved in. I have loved seeing the friendships develop between the kids. The teachers have helped so much with giving my son confidence and getting him prepared for school. The meals are fantastic and its great to know my son has had a healthy meal and maybe tried some new foods too! Storypark makes it's easy to see all the great things they are doing during the day, the friendships they make and the progress they're making too. A wonderful preschool, it makes the tough job of not being with my son while I'm working a whole lot easier knowing that he is so happy and well cared for.”

“Fantastic place to send your little ones to”

“My daughter loves it here. She is always happy and she made good friends as well. I really love the community and the teachers are amazing! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Very friendly and welcoming team who take great care of the little ones in their centre”

“Lovely centre with plenty of Montessori activities, spacious and clean with a large outdoor space. The teachers are amazing and genuinely care about the children. Our daughter attended Montessori for 2 years and loved it.”

“Ropu Tiaki Tamaiti is THE PLACE where you want to send your kids. The kaiako are just lovely. The food served is delicious and nutritious. The facility is equally clean and inviting. There are constantly rotating activities for the tamariki that are enriching and engaging. The staff is incredibly communicative and extremely receptive to feedback. It is without reservation that I recommend this facility to you and your whanau.”

“Dropped in for a couple of sessions with the team here while on holiday - they are a very welcoming crew and fun to work out with. I normally train in QLD Australia this being my first time dropping in to a crossfit box - great coaching 100% recommend”

“This indoor playground is a must to visit with your little ones. It's our first time coming in here and so far the cleanest we have been compared to other indoor playgrounds, cafe has a lot of tables too and you can just watch your children having fun while you enjoy your coffee. My 17 months old definitely had so much fun in here. Looking forward to comeback again.”

“I must command the excellent service I got today at the Warehouse Albany. A product I needed was not on shelf. The customer support went out of her way to find one in the shop but none was available. So she phoned another shop (Glenfield) and had one reserved for me to pick up on the same day. Excellent service. Thank you Helen Hadlee”

“I have experienced some challenges with the customer service at this particular warehouse. I continue to shop here due to its convenient location. My five-star rating is specifically for my Boxing Day shopping experience. I sought assistance from three different individuals, all of whom were unable to help me. This five-star rating is dedicated to 'Ben,' who graciously took the time to retrieve items from boxes as they were not yet on the shelves, and to the young lady at customer service, who typically works at the self-checkout. Both individuals provided exceptional assistance.”

“Great Spot , Definitely a destination:) slides are fun and the pools are a perfect temperature, Pays to come at opening time as it can fill up pretty quick on weekends, We celebrated my daughter's 10th birthday and its handy to shops and Helensville for all your needs , And thanks Domino's Pizza for feeding us all! Great fun day all round, Thanks Parakai Springs we'll definitely be back!”
